Subject: [PATCH v4 7/8] vmcore: treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD
 program header entries in page-size boundary in vmcore_list

Treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in
page-size boundary in vmcore_list. Formally, for each range [start,
end], we set up the corresponding vmcore object in vmcore_list to
[rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].

This change affects layout of /proc/vmcore. The gaps generated by the
rearrangement are newly made visible to applications as
holes. Concretely, they are two ranges [rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE),
start] and [end, roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].
